Most of the water that hits one side stays on that side. It's not pouring through to the other side. There aren't huge holes in the thing that turn it into a sprinkler.

and air IS getting in,

But not as hurricane force winds. Small amounts of air.

seems that smoke would get out, yeah.

But it didn't.

And should be able to hear sound through it if both air and water can get through.

Air and water filtered through tiny holes in tiny amounts is not going to carry enough sound for any normal human being to hear, which means the only way you're going to hear anything through the stupid dome is if the dome itself transmits the sound. And it doesn't.

One thought I forgot to mention in my review: I know it's a small town in Maine, but does it have any kind of sewer system? Was this addressed at all in the book?

Can't remember if sewers were specifically mentioned in the book but I do recall reading that the military/gov. types figured out the the Dome wasn't a dome at all but, rather, was a sphere. Even underground structures would be cut off at the sphere wall

This show should have been called "Under the Stephen King Trope Generator." First two episodes weren't *too* bad, but I see the series going down-hill and fast. Biggest problem I have right now is with the rapey teenage kid. Was that a plot thread we really needed in the show?

aliens youngsters were responsible for the dome and they created the dome so that the town could be their version of an ant farm. One of the human residents then manages to convince one of the alien youngsters to take pity and bring down the dome.

The ending sounds stupid to me. I do hope they change the ending in the TV series.
